Carrie Underwood was a big winner last night in Las Vegas, and it had nothing to do with gambling!   Carrie took home a fender stratocaster guitar for being named the Country Music Artist of the Year at the first ever American Country Awards show.  

Fans call the shots on who wins, and Carrie took home six guitars.  She thanked her "awesome" fans, saying she and her band, "wouldn't be doing anything if there weren't people out there sitting in that audience."  Trace Adkins did a fine, if redneck, job, as this year's host!  Read all about it here.
